Animal Research: The Insatiable Scholar

View File

By killer905 and Gristle 

 

This revision adds Part V to this creature-themed quest and follower mod for male and female PCs, voiced with xVASynth. Version 0.5 continues the adventures of Tirwin and the PC, taking them on wilderness adventures, to the College of Winterhold, into dark dungeons, and far beyond Skyrim. Includes five new books and creatures, several new locations, new spells, new NPCs, more repeatable events, and a study for Tirwin. Version 0.54 fixes bugs.    

 

IMPORTANT!!!: Includes a new animation - Run GenerateFNISforUsers or the equivalent! 

 

A novice scholar from Alinor in the Summerset Isles seeks your assistance in recovering a series of books with forbidden knowledge about the creatures of Tamriel. Although ordered destroyed by a former Arch Mage, the former College librarian could not bring herself to destroy any book, and instead scattered them in hiding places across Skyrim and beyond. The young High Elf scholar seeks the knowledge in the books to improve her chances of admission to the Altmer College of the Sapiarchs. She also seeks protection from wild creatures as well as protection from the Thalmor that seek any means to discredit her family.

 

To Start the Quest:

 

Enter the main area of the Bannered Mare in Whiterun and listen to the conversation between two elves. Your PC will be approached by the High Elf after the conversation. (If the scene doesn't start for any reason, talk to the High Elf.)

 

To Continue the Quest:

 

If you already completed Parts I, II, III or IV of the quest, you can continue with Tirwin's quests by asking her about the next book. If you are starting a new profile and wish to skip over quests previously played, you can do so via dialogue with Tirwin after you are initially recruited by her in the Bannered Mare.

 

Important Note on Castle Volkihar Stages of Mod:

 

The stages of the mod that take you to Castle Volkihar (the stages directly after the "Chase" quest), can be run before or after Dawnguard, but not during Dawnguard. To be precise, it's OK if Dawnguard has started, but once you have visited the Castle Volkihar island, don't run the Castle Volkihar stages of this mod until after you have finished the Kindred Judgement quest (i.e., killed Harkon). 

 

Tirwin's Outfit System:

 

After the dog quest, you can give Tirwin a new outfit. Currently, her outfit system works correctly only if she has the one new outfit in her inventory. When using the dialogue to give her a new outfit, you should remove any other outfit pieces in her inventory other than the new outfit you wish her to wear.

Known Conflicts:

 

  • True Directional Movement - will interfere with a quest in this mod that changes player controls
  • Aroused Creatures - while not strictly incompatible, mods like Aroused Creatures that can generate random sex encounters should be disabled while on Tirwin's quests because they can interfere with scripted animal encounters

seems to be a little problem with the wolf quest.

After the researcher is done she walk away from the wolf to further side of the camp and nothing more happens.

Quest stage do not finish and there is no quest mark.

Tried to talk to her, and that gave a conversation for her to join up again, but she do not get dressed.

But quest do still not advance.

 

Like the idea though of the quest so far.

You can make her ‘piss her off’ then she goes away.


More accurate information would be helpful.

The task looks roughly like this counting from reaching the camp:

1) Free the wolf from the cage (find the key)
2) Tirwin will ask you to wait behind the carriage
3) After sex with the wolf. Tirwin SHOULD approach you with ForceGreet
4) You have options that may piss her off and she will leave (Don't click them ^^ )
5) There are 3 options with sex, but I won't write here what exactly. ;)
6) You can choose to look for a second book right away.

The objective at the stage after the wolf sex should be "Speak to Tirwin about the wolf". There is no quest marker on Tirwin during this stage (but she is right there). A quest marker could be added to her, but then it would float over her head in the sex scenes that can occur during this stage, which looks bad.  Speaking to her during this stage should give the PC options to continue looking for the next book, as well as various PC/Tirwin/animal sex request options. Are you seeing those?

I look forward to the progress of this new adventure, I liked the premise.
I had a stumble with the bear, the animation between Tirwin and the bear never started, I advanced this stage with the console.

Control question: Did Tirwin have her hair tied up or down before having sex with Bear? If she has her hair down, then sex with bear won't work because it is attributed to Tirwin having her hair tied up.

She had her hair down if I recall correctly. I don't think I've ever seen her with her hair tied up.
I'm going to try again from a previous save.

Did you speak with Tirwin after entering the cave? Such an objective should trigger as you walk down the tunnel to the larger cave. The dialogue is "There's your bear, Tirwin." Any of the three choices should advance the stage to the sex scene with the bear. If that didn't work, do you have a Bear animation enabled?

As killer905 mentioned, the bear sex only works with short hair Tirwin. But Tirwin should have put her hair back up when you entered the city to speak with Aela. As a failsafe, I can make it so any animal sex works with either version of Tirwin.

Tirwin has her hair down after every sex, and ties it up in every town/village.

I've done some testing and found the following:

I use KS Hairdos and Immersive KS Hairdos, disabling the latter, Tirwin's hairstyle was not affected by the change of location.

I also use SexLab Eager NPC and this caused a glitch in the progress of the quest, when we enter the cave where the bear is, he faces a troll, when he is defeated, a SexLab Eager NPC script is activated that causes the characters to have sex, causing Tirwin's hair to change and the scene with the bear not to activate.

Well at least we know what mod make problems. Or at least click "stop them"

Thanks. I was just realizing that having sex with Tirwin with other mods could change her hairstyle (to hair down) at unanticipated times. I will revise to make sure all mod sex scenes work with the "hair down" version of Tirwin. This will also take care of the case where she may not put her hair back up as expected in cities. (She generally does, but sometimes it take a location change or two in the city to trigger.)

Seems she went the wrong way then, since she did not walk toward the wagon. 🤔

Sometimes it takes a few seconds for an NPC to switch to a new package. That would explain why she starts walking back to Whiterun, but she should turn around and go back to following the PC. But something could block her path. There is no quest marker at this point, but the quest objective should read "Speak to Tirwin about the wolf". 

 

She will not get dressed (and the quest will not advance) until you tell her it's time to look for the next book. Have you done that?
